urgency of making a good display at the
polls because the political contest immedi-
ately precedes the Presidential campaign.
They expect to play an important part in
that contest, and a large vote this fall. they
think, will insure for their candidate for
President enough strength to throw con-
sternation into the ranks of the dominent
or Republican party of PENNSYLVANIA. Ac-
ton was taken by the Prohibition State
committee looking to thorough organiza-
ton OF the State by holding meetings in
school-houses and private residences. 1t
was the sense of the meeting, as expressed
by number of experienced POLITICAL work
efs,, that much more depends on small
gatherings than in large and expensive
mass-meetings. Illustrations We're given
OF many converts of the Prohibition party
having been made at little gatherings.
There was slight opposition to Wolfe by
some OF the less progressive members Of
the party because of the candidacy of en-
Congressman Barker. aged 72 years, who
wanted the position Of State chairman. and
was much disappointed when the commit
tee sat down on him by formidable ma
Jorlty. The State chairman was empow-
cred to appoint his own executive commit
tee, and he selected the most experienced
men IN the party to assist him in the pros
ecution OF the campaign.

Maine.

GOV. Bodwell, in a recent "interview"
with representative of the Portland Euen-
'ng Cypress concerning the temperance
question and the comparative condition of
Maine with other States, is reported as
saying:
Il can speak positively from my own OBJ
servation and experience. OF course am
familiar with this State, and my business
calls me into many other States. I do not
hesitate to say that nowhere that have
been are the people so free from all the
evils incident TO the liquor-trat1ic as in this
State. am interested in granite quarries,
and employ large numbers of men. We
experience scarcely any inconvenience with
our help Immediately after payday. They
are generally on hand after payday as we'll
as before. have done business in other
States where the liquor traffic was not pro-
hlblted or in any way suppressed. We had
one quarry in Keene, N. H., several years
ago, where we worked q large number of
men. At that time the liquor traffic was
unsurpassed, and it was not an uncom-
mon thing after pay day to find at least 25
per cent. of our help absent from one day
to week; and many of them had families
and would spend nearly their months wages
for rum before they returned to work. We
also are running quite q large crew
of men in Indiana, where liquor is
sold freely. The same difficulty occurs
there as did in New Hampshire, and l
cannot but notice the contrast between
those localities where liquor is sold freely
and our localities here in Maine where we
suppress the sale to a great extent. We
find the more we enforce the law the less
trouble we have with the men. Our men
now, as class, are becoming more indie
pendent; their families are better clothed
and schooled than ever before; generally
they are saving up money for future
wants, much of which would be spent for
rum, by some of them, if it was readily OBJ
tanned"
Then, Governor, you take no stock in
the reports circulated throughout the coun-
try that there is more liquor selling
throughout Maine than ever before?"
None whatever. 1 am constantly in
receipt of letters from all over the Union
asking if it is true that drunkenness exists
in Maine to an alarming extent. Any can
did inquirer can best satisfy himself on
this point by visiting Maine and making an
investigation for himself. No friend of
prohibition need fear the most careful
comparison with any license State"
The Governor has resolved to test in the
courts at as early day as possible the as
sumed right of liquor sellers to sell i'm
ported liquors in Original packages" in
defiance of the State prohibitory law. In
the Burns case he anticipates that next
month the Superior Court will decide
against Burns; that his case will then be
again appealed to the State Supreme Court
for decision of the full bench of Judges.

Professor-If you feel that literature
is your forte, write by all means.
Whatsoever thy hand tindeth to do, do
it with all thy might, says Solomon.
I would advise you, however, to avoid
the imaginative and write only on use
full topics until you have formed style.
There are many things connected with
woman's work, for instance, that you
could write about, matters upon which
you have formed opinions-are there
not?
Vassar girl-Certainly. Women, es-
pecially in the lower ranks of life, need
to be advised on many things and am
sure L could use my pen not only with
pleasure to myself but profit to my sex
in such field of literary labor.

are capable in that direction.

thought. How far apart seemed those two

chants and the rulership of Egypt. Yet
YOU see in what mysterious way God con-

Influence Of Reer Oh Digestion.
Good Health says: prof. H. A. Hare.
NJ. D., of the University of PENNSYLVANIA.
has recently been subjecting to scientific
tests the popular ideA that beer is an aid to
digestion. 1t has long been supposed by
many that the lighter forms of alcoholic
liquors, particularly the various forms Of
beer, are On aid to digestion. The expert
ments made, however, very clearly show
that beer distinctly retards both salivary
and gastric digestion. This was true with
reference to every specimen Of beer ex-
amined, some seventeen in ali. In more
than two-thirds Of the specimens of
beer examined tho stomach digestion was
| delayed considerably more than one hour,
and in some instances the delay was nearly
two hours. Some recent experiments made
by Professor Duggan, of Baltimore, at the
Johns Hopkins University, show that alco-
hol in all it's forms retards the digestion
of starch in very marked degree. These
two sets of experiments together show
very conclusively that beer retards the di-
gestion in consequence of the alcohol
which it contains. When it is considered
that the nutritive value of beer is so ex-
ceedingly small that whole hogshead
contains no more actual nutriment than a
single loaf of bread, it will at once appear
that the popular faith in beer as an aid to
digestion or to nutrition has no foundation
whatever

1T is apparent that one of the most vital
issues Of the future-an issue in which la
Dor and capital and the general welfare are
all involved-is that against the despotisln
of the saloon, with all its political and Pc
cuniary exactions. There may be different
opinions as to the methods of meeting the
evils of intemperance, but there can be no
differences among all who have regard for
the security OF society, and for good gov
eminent in municipality and in common
wealth, as to the alarming power and tyr
amy of the grog-shop and the whole LIQUOR
interest. We believe the better sentiment
of Massachusetts is for its suppression, and
certainly will not submit to see it extend its
control of our State and local government" ~

The Inter Ocean says that the saloons
pay nearly $2.00O,000 license fees under
the high-license law at $500 each, against
5000, 900 with the former fee of $50, but it
adds: "Under the old rate there were
nearly 1000 saloons in the city. There
are now 3,9O0-not very signal diminu-
ton in number apparently" The great
plea for high-license was that it would "cut
down the number of saloons one half

their opposition to high license. These
